Took me 6 hours to complete Elder dificulty

Worst piece of content ever , first and last time I am doing this.

I can appreciate the concept but when it played out I think it just missed the mark on all levels. Having to do Classic before getting to Elder was pointless and just a replacement to a mechanic they literally just got rid of with the previous difficulty.

No one likes to slog through content "just because" … especially players who are seasoned in the game. I do think there's something here but the delivery this time was nothing enjoyable in my opinion.

Considering you have over 30 days to complete it.

That's about 12 minutes a day for okay rewards. Not too bad at all!

To me, it’s the principle of it. For something that’s supposed to help you progress your account, the defenders should not be as jacked up with health and attack. It also isn’t cool that they added fights vs what we had before (because of the required completion run) when the intent of the Valiant gauntlet was to reduce the number of fights that we had to do.

It’s not that it’s super difficult (at least not classic) or that I don’t have the champs to do the Elder difficulty. It’s that they made it a whole lot more work than it used to be (just by PI of the defenders, they are at least twice as bulky on Elder) and to me (others may feel differently), it’s not worth the extra time and effort required. I have a life outside of this game.

It’s easy to say 12 minutes a day for ok rewards but it also needs to feel rewarding doing this, not grindy or punishing. I don’t want to support the change they did with this so I’ll spend those 12 minute elsewhere and get back some of my time.

The biggest question is WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE 30 DAMN CHAMPIONS FOR PRESTIGE COUNT?

WHICH PLAYER IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS FOCUSING ON 30 CHAMPIONS????

Everyone has like 10-15 champs they use everywhere tops. wtf kabam.

This is essentially like kicking an already sleeping dog and then when her wakes up and tries to get up you hold him down! Cuz even the rewards at lower prestiges have BARELY ANY CATALYSTS OR GOLD, so how do we increase our prestige then?

could have made a hefty dent in necropolis with that amount of time for the new EQ….lol, Kabam you all need some serious help. You have lost your minds.

This may be the worst piece of content Kabam has ever put out. My playing time is going to go way down. I’m not wasting time or items on this silliness they call EQ now.

I think it's intentionally overturned. They've made enough Everest content to know how to properly scale defenders. Next month they'll listen to the community and change the scaling of the defenders, but the core issues like rewards will remain.

We shouldn't have to beat classic to do elder, that doesn't make much sense. They did a great thing by not making us complete throne breaker eq, last few months being able to complete valiant right away has been great. Not sure who thought going backwards was progress. It feels like they've ignored our previous feedback and started over again. Also it doesn't make sense to join EQ right away as you will raise prestige during the month. So now if you want to maximize rewards you need to wait until the end of the month. It also seems like every month the prestige levels will change with the tiers as more people raise their prestige, hopefully I am wrong about this assumption but if that is true I can rank up champs and relics and be in the same tier next month. Top 30 prestige was a terrible idea and I don't have much motivation to continue playing at a high level.

Well It was really a piece of **** quest. I didn't even think to play of this elder difficulty. Its just a waste of time and resources. Better to have some rest tha wasting time for this useless difficulty and useless rewards

do you recommend playing for 12 minutes per day and not doing anything else like dailies or side quest? since you know the quest locks you from entering any other quest.
That’s one way to make people forget about the game I guess.

On the livestream when they had Kabam Kevin there and announced he's the one that was lead on designing the new EQ I knew it was going to be a nightmare. He's the PAIN designer who puts together all the punishing content in the game, so this could go no other way. Not saying anything bad about him at all, just that his talent seems to be End Game/Everest content and that's just not was monthly EQ is supposed to be

6 hours is average 2 paths in necro.

I do remember it took similar amount of time to explore tb eq when it was launched.

BringPopcorn

Too much time and effort designing the concept of the new EQ and then failing to execute.

Its fine for me though, less screen time easier to slowly step away.

Its Terrible. Crucible style is the worst and I just got done doing wheel of time last month. i did not want to have to do something like that in a long time but here we are..Every damn month now. Even if you want to take your time your locked in and cant do other content, its just too long for EQ. With that many fights your going to have to use alot or R1's and they way they hit it just doesnt work. Let alone its a ton of unfun gaming to get the same reward we could just enjoy the game and receive doing it. There just too much stuff in the game now that just not even fun to play and feels like work..
